Welcome to 21729 W Hemingway Court, a home with just the right amount of literary mischief. If Ernest Hemingway were house hunting, this might be the one. It’s sturdy, direct, and move-in ready. It’s the kind of place where you can sit with your morning coffee, glance out at the water, and write a clean sentence before noon.
But Hemingway wouldn’t be the only one interested. Mark Twain would appreciate the quiet charm of the second floor. It’s kind of place where curiosity simmers and stories are born. Down below, F. Scott Fitzgerald might raise a glass to the finished basement, equal parts cozy refuge and hidden speakeasy. And Emily Dickinson would no doubt find comfort in the tranquil backyard, where stillness becomes its own kind of poetry. This is a home where every space has a voice. The main floor speaks with confidence. Upstairs radiates warmth. Downstairs whispers secrets. Outside, the quiet deepens and the story breathes. Together, they offer a space that reads like the great American novel.
The main level offers the kind of clarity Hemingway would admire. It doesn’t meander. It moves with purpose. Sunlight filters in through tall, double hung windows and draws you into spaces that are practical and refreshingly simple. The kitchen was updated in 2022 with newer cabinets, granite counters, and a functional layout. There’s space to cook, room to gather, and a sunny eat-in area where morning routines can unfold without hurry. A large sliding glass door leads from the kitchen to the lush, spacious backyard, offering a direct line between the day’s first cup of coffee and its final sunset. Whether you’re frying eggs or making bold decisions, this kitchen just works. The powder room, also refreshed in 2022, carries the same honest elegance.
The family room opens up with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, and two skylights that invite the daylight to stay awhile. A fireplace anchors the room without trying too hard. This is where quiet mornings begin and long evenings settle in. The laundry and pantry are tucked just off the kitchen, where they quietly wait to be useful. This is not a level for pretense. Like Hemingway himself, it’s for people who live fully, speak plainly, and appreciate a space that knows exactly what it is.
Upstairs, the pace softens and the light lingers longer. This is the kind of space where Tom and Huck might have plotted their next adventure, or where Aunt Polly might have insisted everyone wash up before dinner. The mood is warm, the rooms are generous, and the charm comes standard. Hardwood floors run throughout, giving the second story a sense of quiet dignity. The primary bedroom is spacious and calm, filled with light and free from distraction. Two additional bedrooms offer room to grow, work, rest, or daydream. Each bedroom has a personality of its own and windows that know how to frame the sky. A full bathroom serves all three bedrooms. The entire floor offers a thoughtful design made for the rhythm of everyday life.
This level was made for storytelling. You can almost hear the creak of a floorboard, the laughter behind a closed door, the quiet thud of a book dropped at bedtime. It is a space that feels lived in, even before you move in.
Downstairs, the lights dim and the mood shifts. This is Fitzgerald’s domain, where the world softens and the pace slows. The finished basement feels like a secret held just below the surface, equal parts comfort and retreat. The family room offers space to gather, to disappear, or to host something unplanned on a Thursday night. The layout’s flexible and open, with room for movie nights, weekend games, or long conversations that spill past midnight. A built-in wet bar stands quietly along one wall, waiting for jazz on the speakers and something cold in the glass. The second full bathroom adds comfort and convenience, making this level not only versatile but complete.
Whether you imagine a quiet office tucked into a corner or a guest retreat for company, the space is confident and versatile. Like Gatsby at his best, it makes an impression without asking for attention. This level doesn’t steal the story; it enriches it. It’s the closing chapter that reveals more than you expected.
The tranquil backyard, which is fenced for privacy and anchored by a spacious wood deck, feels like a small green room at the edge of the world. A firepit rests nearby, ready for unhurried evenings and conversations that do not watch the clock. Just beyond, a water view reflects the shifting light. It doesn’t announce itself. It invites you to pause. It’s a space that Emily Dickinson would have appreciated. It offers stillness without solitude and beauty without excess. The air is quiet. The light is kind. A bird call becomes music. The arc of afternoon sun across the grass feels like a sentence that lands exactly where it should. Here, the noise of the world gives way to something quieter and more lasting.
Every home tells a story, but this one reads like a classic. With meaningful updates including a new roof, refreshed kitchen and powder room in 2022, a finished basement, and a private backyard with a peaceful water view, 21729 W Hemingway Court brings together utility, atmosphere, and imagination. Whether you lean Hemingway-bold, Twain-wise, Fitzgerald-elegant, or Dickinson-still, this is a home that honors every voice and invites your story to take root. This is more than a home. It is a work of art with footnotes in comfort, edits in all the right places, and a happily ever after that ends with you holding the keys.
